Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for repairing ruptured longitudinal seams or cracks in road surfaces which consist of a thermoplastic material and particularly of an asphalt coating including bitumen and mineral constituents by which, under the application of heat, new coating material is applied and consolidated in the area of the longitudinal seams or cracks.
  • the longitudinal seams between two adjacent lanes may rupture and thus admit, through these cracks, water and humidity into the road foundation, which might lead to a progressive destruction of the road surface particularly during the cold season.
  • longitudinal cracks may form because of heavy traffic by which a similar premature wear and damage of the road is promoted.
  • the road surface is milled off or peeled off and after the removal of the milled-off or peeled-off material a new coating is applied.
  • the road surface is generally subjected to a heating by which the milling or peeling is simplified and a better adhesion of the new coating to the underground is obtained.
  • the milled-off or peeled-off material is either transported by trucks to dumping sites or, according to a newer method, is compounded with the new coating material in a relation corresponding to the requirements and this compound is applied onto the milled-off or peeled-off road surface.
  • the milled-off or peeled-off material is transported by highly sophisticated conveyor means to a container, which is also charged with a new coating material from a truck.
  • the repair costs per road unit may considerably be reduced as compared to any other method.
  • This method is not suited for repairing longitudinal cracks or ruptured longitudinal seams of road surfaces considering that the use of machinery for the repair of only smaller areas, which longitudinal seams and cracks are, would be much too costly and the repair costs per unit of road surface would be too excessive.
  • the aim of the invention to provide a method by which the repair of ruptured longitudinal seams or longitudinal cracks in the surface coatings is possible with minimum technical and personal costs.
  • the method should moreover permit the permanent closure of seams and cracks.
  • this problem is solved by a method wherein as a first step mud and humidity is removed from, and out of, the longitudinal seam or crack, the longitudinal seam is subsequently softened by heating, the softened coating is loosened from the underground and is compounded with the new material and/or liquid or liquified aggregates and is finally incorporated and consolidated again.
  • aggregates minerals such as for instance bitumen, so-called flux oils, light fuels and the like are to be understood, which are suited to improve the quality of the material to be incorporated and to increase the adhesion between the individual particles.
  • This method i.e., cleaning, heating, tearing, incorporating the new coating material and/or aggregates and consolidating, permits a permanent repair of longitudinal, ruptured seams or cracks in a small neighborhood thereof, which means that the repair operations may not only be performed rapidly and with little new coating material but also, with a view to the limitation of the operations to a very small area, may be made without substantially impairing the traffic flow.
  • the latter constitutes a particular advantage of the method according to the invention considering that no costly street barricades need be erected and no time and fuel consuming detours have to be made.
  • the longitudinal seam or the longitudinal crack, respectively is most suitably treated with a burning gas-air mixture of high flow velocity. It is advisable in this case to allow the gas-air mixture to pass into the seam, or the crack, respectively, at an oblique angle as otherwise the mud and dust, which is whirled up, is not completely blown out of the seam, or the crack, respectively.
  • the softened coating is loosened not only from the underground but also in itself, which means that the coating should more or less be crumbled so that the new coating material may more easily be applied. It is of particular advantage if during and after the addition of the new coating material the softened and loosened coating is intimately blended for a long time with the new coating material. It has shown that the degree of blending will exert an increased influence on the durability of the repair, that is, with the growing blending degree the life of the coated area repaired will increase.
  • the compound of old coating material and of new coating material is subjected to a further heating process prior to consolidation.
  • This step should be employed particularly in such cases when old and new coating materials are heavily blended as in this case both materials will cool down relatively rapidly. The consequence is that particularly in the area of the seam or crack bottom the compounding of the blended coating material with the road surface foundation might be too poor. The latter is particularly the case when dealing with relatively deep seams or cracks.
  • a further idea of the invention relates to an apparatus for performing the method according to the invention.
  • This apparatus comprises a prior art chassis including its own drive engine and wheels and/or caterpillar tracks and including at least one heating device and means for loosening the road coating arranged behind it as seen in the direction of motion.
  • the apparatus according to the invention differs from the prior art devices in that as the means for loosening the road coating, a small roller provided with chisels and rotating in a direction opposite to the direction of motion is provided, which roller is arranged in the discharge area of a container holding the new coating material such that when rotating the roller in the discharge area of the container, compounding of the old coating material transported up by the chisels and of the new coating material is accomplished.
  • the roller provided with the chisels fulfills two functions; it loosens the road surface in the area of the seam or the crack, and the coating in itself, and on the other hand blends the old, loosened coating with the new coating material. Special devices for blending the new and the old coating materials or devices for transporting the old coating material to such a blending device are, therefore, no longer necessary in the apparatus according to the invention. This is a particular advantage of the apparatus according to the present invention.
  • a container including a dosing device for liquid or liquified aggregates is provided.
  • the dosing device opens in the discharge area of the container receiving the new coating material.
  • the aggregates reach the correct location in order to be intimately belended with the old and, in given cases, new coating material.
  • the dosing device is additionally connected (if necessary) to a sprayer device covering the whole width of the ruptured surface to be treated.
  • This sprayer device sprays the aggregate(s), i.e., in this case the adhesion-improving substances, into the gap from which the old road coating material has been taken so that the newly incorporated material will substantially better adhere to the residual coating.
  • the container for the liquid or liquified aggregates is provided, in accordance with a particularly advantageous embodiment of the apparatus according to the present invention, with a corresponding heating device.
  • This heating device may either serve for liquifying the added aggregates or only to maintain the liquid state if they were already added in that state into the container.
  • the container for the aggregate(s) is wholly or partly provided with a metal sheet mantle through which the combustion gases of the drive engine are conducted.
  • any devices common to those versed in the art may be employed. It has, however, shown to be particularly advantageous if the amount of the liquid or liquified aggregates added by the dosing device is controlled depending on the moving speed of the apparatus. In this way, it is safeguarded that equal amounts of the aggregates are added per unit of length of the longitudinal seam repaired so that a thinning of the newly incorporated road surface coating or a thickening thereof is avoided.
  • the container for the new coating material passes, at the lower side thereof, over into a tubular extension of rectangular cross section, in which the roller carrying the chisels is rotatably supported.
  • the arrangement of the roller carrying the chisels in the lower portion of the container has the advantage that a particularly intimate blending between the old coating material and the new coating material is obtained.
  • the blending degree may furtheron be increased in that the chisels are arranged in at least three levels spaced relative to each other and perpendicular to the roller axis, the chisels in one level being staggered relative to those in the adjacent level in the circumferential direction of the roller.
  • Control of the discharged amount of new and old coating material is suitably obtained in that the rear wall of the tubular container extension is height adjustable.
  • the amount to be discharged may be increased or decreased in the desired manner.
  • a screwed spindle is suitably provided which may be supported at the container wall.
  • the container carrying the chisel roller is height adjustable.
  • This height adjustment may in accordance with an embodiment of the invention be obtained in that the wheel pair of the chassis adjacent the container is height adjustably secured to the chassis.
  • the container is height adjustably secured to the chassis, a solution which is to be preferred over the other one as it is accomplished with less costs.
  • the wheel pair of the chassis adjacent the container as well as the container are height adjustably secured to the chassis thus permitting a coarse adjustment via the height adjustable wheel pair and a fine adjustment via the height adjustment between container and chassis.
  • the height adjustable wheel pair serves also to hold the container with the chisel roller during pure travelling operation, i.e., when it travels from one place of operation to the other, in an inoperable position elevated from the road surface.
  • the container with the chisel roller is swivellingly secured to the chassis around an axis parallel to the roller axis.
  • a height adjustable wheel pair may be dispensed with unless it is required for the exclusive height adjustment of the container or the adjustment of the loosening depth, respectively.
  • the container is secured to a holder having at least one lever which holder on its part is untwistably secured relative to a shaft rotatably supported on the chassis.
  • the shaft carrying the holder is suitably substituted by a roller as in that case, because of the substantially higher weight of the roller as compared to a shaft, vibrations and oscillations as will occur during the course of the operation of the chisel roller have a substantial smaller effect on the whole apparatus, the loosening depth and the evenness of the seam or crack repair.
  • a preferably pneumatic or hydraulic positioning device the moving element of which is in operative connection with the lever.
  • the container together with the chisel roller is most suitably cross adjustably arranged on the chassis.
  • the apparatus need then only be brought into a position parallel to the longitudinal seam to be repaired or to the longitudinal crack to be repaired rather than into a position exactly above the seam or the crack, respectively, which would entail substantially more maneuvering.
  • the exact adjustment of the roller, which carries the chisel, and of the container is then obtained by cross adjustment thereof relative to the chassis of the apparatus.
  • a closed prismatic guide For the cross adjustment of the container with the chisel roller relative to the chassis, there is most suitably provided a closed prismatic guide, one portion of which is secured to the container while the other portion thereof is secured to the chassis.
  • the adjustment is advantageously made with the aid of a rack-and-pinion gear where the rack is connected to the container and the pinion engaging with the rack is arranged on a shaft provided with a crank.
  • a first heating device is provided in the front area while a second heating device is provided between the two wheel pairs of the chassis.
  • a particularly compact structure of the apparatus may be obtained.
  • the heating device infra-red radiators have shown to be suitable while other electric or gas-operated heating devices may be employed as well.
  • liquid gas operated burners for removing mud and humidity from the longitudinal seam to be repaired or the longitudinal crack to be required.
  • at least two to three burner rows are arranged one behind the other in the direction of motion.
  • the first heating device and the burners are suitably combined to constitute one structural unit, which is swivellingly secured to the chassis. This makes possible to swing up the heating device burner unit during travelling operation, i.e., when the apparatus is transported from one location to another, and thus render the apparatus better maneuverable than would be the case with the heating device-burners unit down.
  • a third heating device is provided, in accordance with a further development of the invention, behind the container in the direction of motion.
  • the compound consisting of old and new coating material filled into the seam or the crack and already preconsolidated is heated again in its surface area shortly prior to the final consolidation, which may be made by a common road roller.
  • the heating device is advantageously provided on skids and is removably coupled to the container. It may thus in a simple way, for instance, if it is not needed in case of small crack or seam depths, be decoupled and suspended at a suitable location on the apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 shows a lateral view of a complete apparatus according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a lateral view of a container including a chisel roller of the apparatus according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows another container including a chisel roller, which is height-adjustably secured to a holder swivellingly provided on the chassis, and
  • FIG. 4 shows a rear view to the container of the apparatus according to FIG. 1.

  • chassis 1 In the front portion of chassis 1, there are four liquid gas containers 9, only two of which are shown, for feeding a first heating device 10, a second heating device 11 arranged between wheel pairs 2 and 3 and a third heating device 12, which is arranged behind chassis 1.
  • the liquid gas from containers 9 operates furtheron a number of burners 13, which are arranged in three rows one after the other at the front end of heating device 10.
  • Burners 13 are provided in a holder 14 integral with heating element 10 to constitute a constructional unit 15.
  • Constructional unit 15 is secured to an arm 16, which is hinged at its other end to chassis 1.
  • constructional unit 15 By means of a traction rope 17, which engages with the end of the arm 16 at the side of the constructional unit and is in connection via a guide pulley 18 with a worm gear secured to the chassis, constructional unit 15 may be drawn into a somewhat vertical position to enable pure travelling motion. On the other hand, the ground clearance of construction unit 15 may be adjusted by the traction rope 17 as well.
  • container 19 is provided, which, as can particularly be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, at the lower side thereof passes over into a tubular extension 20 of rectangular cross section, in which a device for loosening the road surface is arranged.
  • Loosening device 21 comprises roller 22 (FIG. 2) on which chisels 26 are removably secured. Roller 22 is supported in the two side walls 27 and 28 of container 19.

  • This container 23 is connected, via duct 24, to dosing device 25, by which defined amounts of the aggregates may be added in the discharge area of container 19.
  • rear wall 30 of tubular extension 20 is height adjustable by means of a screwed spindle 31.
  • Screwed spindle 31 engages with its one end with a corresponding threaded nut 32 secured to wall 30, and is supported with its other end in a bushing 33.
  • Bushing 33 as well as further bushing 34 is secured to the rear wall 35 of container 19.
  • the height adjustable wall 30 of the tubular container extension 20 is provided at its lower end with a finishing screed 36.
  • a finishing screed 36 For heating this finishing screed 36 and the rear wall 30, three burners 37, 38 and 39 are provided, which are arranged in a holder 40, which on its part is secured between the two side walls 27 and 28 of the tubular extension 20.

  • Two further skids 51 and 52 are provided immediately at the ends of walls 27 and 28 adjacent the road surface.
  • the booms 41 and 42 with the skids 43 and 44 are not shown in FIG. 3.
  • Container 19 including loosening device 21 is provided, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 4, via a holder 53 on chassis 1.
  • Holder 53 comprises a roller 55, which is supported in two side walls 54, to the periphery of which holder 56 is screwed.
  • Holder 56 includes a guide 57 constituting together with a guide body 58 a prismatic guide 59, by which container 19 including loosening device 21 may be shifted at a right angle relative to chassis 1. Adjustment is brought about by means of a rack-and-pinion gear assembly 60, the rack 61 of which is rigidly secured to container 19 while the pinion of which is indirectly or directlyconnected to a crank 62.
  • Holder 56 includes furtheron a lever 62, which engages with the movable portion 63 of a pneumatic operating cylinder 64 provided on chassis 1. By operating this operating cylinder 64, container 19 including loosening device 21 may be lowered around axis 65 from an elevated rest position into an operating position and elevated therefrom again.
